Today's song of the day comes from the Tim Burton stop motion animated feature, "The Nightmare Before Christmas." I have mixed feelings toward Tim Burton's later work particularly those that over-exaggerate the presence of Johnny Depp. However, I regard The Nightmare Before Christmas as one of his epic masterpieces. "This Is Halloween" is the film's opening song and right away it captures the atmosphere of Halloweentown and the film. So here's the lyric of the day and the video to follow with it.
"In this town we call home everyone hails to the pumpkin sun." - The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Fun fact: Chris Sarandon performs the voice of Jack Skellington. However, he didn't feel comfortable singing so Jack's singing is done by music composer and longtime Burton collaborator, Danny Elfman.
